We warmly welcome our new colleagues and are proud to pass the milestone of 1,000 professionals. For many years HTS and ICT have worked together and both companies acknowledge that there is a clear cultural fit between the two companies.

Further financial details will not be disclosed.

The High Tech business unit of ICT Group continues to focus on Model Driven Engineering. To broaden our knowledge, ICT Group actively seeks partnerships with specialized organizations like Verum. Verum’s product ‘Dezyne’ enables software engineers to create, explore and formally verify component based designs for embedded and technical software systems. In the past 6 months, ICT Group trained several colleagues in using Dezyne and its predecessor ASD. They are now working on projects using Model Driven Engineering and Verum’s tooling in practice. ICT colleague Chong Liu has even participated in the Verum Dezyne Challenge, working on a Wafer Measurement System. You can find more information regarding this challenge here. The High Tech business unit is looking forward to continue the collaboration with Verum and developing the Model Driven Engineering competence.
